Hi, Why do you want to enable the Global variables? The reason why PHP has turned this off, is to provide flexibility to programmers in using the variable names. With this turned off, programmers can reuse the same variable names by understanding the scope. If you turn this on, you MAY accidentally overwrite the unintended variable value. I suggest you to let it be turned off and work accordingly. The main problem with PHP is that, it lets you design very badly. I believe this is why PHP programmers are not considered as "real developers". When I see some PHP scripts by others, I feel surprised by their variable naming and the prog. flow. No organised structure, no variable naming conventions, no memory management, nothing. They write the programs in a hurry. Any way, it depends on the experience and the professionalism that is showed. Tarun, sorry if I have said these words for your mail. Please consider only first two paras for yourself.
